2:36th Arty

The 2nd Battalion, 36th Artillery (2/36th Arty) was a field artillery unit of the United States Army with service during the Vietnam War. Assigned to the 196th Light Infantry Brigade, the battalion provided fire support for infantry operations, often deploying 105mm howitzers in support of search-and-destroy missions. The 2/36th Artillery played a critical role in counter-mortar and defensive operations, frequently relocating to forward firebases throughout I Corps Tactical Zone. Its dedicated service contributed significantly to the brigade's combat effectiveness until the unit was inactivated or redesignated as part of post-war force restructuring.
